Change tmp-directory used by Landscape?

  • 772

If i understand correctly, Landscape uploads all scripts as files before they run, and they are stored under /tmp. This is of course a problem if you configure tmp partition with noexec, and leaves me with an error similar to this:

     File "/usr/lib/python3.10/os.py", line 598, in _execvpe
     exec_func(file, *argrest)
          PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/tmp/tmpnn0rb1qz'

So, is it possible to change the location Landscape uses to store the scripts? I couldn't find such option for landscape-config, and nothing in the config files.

I really dont want to configure tmp with exec...

    This isn't really supported by Landscape so we will have to patch the file:

    1. Open /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/landscape/client/manager/scriptexecution.py in a text editor
    2. Replace the fd, filename = tempfile.mkstemp() line with fd, filename = tempfile.mkstemp(dir="/path/to/where/you/want/to/store/the/scripts")
    3. Reboot
    4. Reapply these changes whenever you upgrade the landscape-client package
